Good luck to them

I’m glad we live in such a tolerant world (well, at least it is improving).

I am sitting here in tears with some of the comments. I have a neice that was born my nephew so I have seen it first hand and gender dysphoria is real. The first person to "accept" it in the family was our 90 year old nan. I also have a mate who identifies as a stick of celery.

How would that be deemed worthy of a delete?You'd hear worse than that in a grade 1 playground.

Sorry mate - I enjoy your sense of humour and your good natured posts but admin were right to pull that one. Check your watch - it is nearly 2020 and we have moved on from there. Or at least we should have. We (the heterosexual community) have been effectively bullying the gay community since before Adam. The world's (just about) caught up now and the bullying is a thing of the past. Let's all enjoy the time of year and celebrate good will to everyone.

A little while back, there was an ad on the tv where they were calling themselves queers.

Now, and I may wrong, but I would've thought, queer was worse than poof.

However, its just a word and not very strong word at that.The minority groups, seem to be offended by a new thing each week.

I even said to the old girl, is it ok now, to call 'em queers?

Its not all about the 31 different titles that these folks are coming up with.

Native American use to be common, I believe, that's now, not the case.Aboriginals have been called that for ever..... now its indigenous.We even shortened it to Abo for a long time, then one day, that wasn't accepted either.

There use to be, back in the 60's, an FX Holden drag car called Aborigine and it was black.Then, later on, they built a Ford Prefect gasser called Lil' Abo.

Do it now, you'd be stoned to death. Christ, Aussie is short for Australian.

I must have missed the memo, that said these words are hurtful.

Is this day and age, somebody is being offended nearly every minute of the day..... and its wrong.

Look, if someone, well, maybe lots of folks, called me a fukkwit or a big vagina..... whoopty do. They're just words.Actually, most folks that call me a big vagina, after getting to know me, realise that they were right too.

I know I won't win the debate, there are too many, just ready to be offended, world wide.

31 different titles for a (i'll be good for a moment) Gay/trans/he/she/it, borders on lunacy.

This post will get deleted, which is a shame.There is enough Shit going on in the world today....murders, fires, heat waves, wars, kiddy fiddlers, wife bashers, robbery, Terrorist, the drug Ice, planes getting flown into buildings, where do I stop.

Its just a fukkin word, Poof, or as my Dad would say, he's a horses hoof.

I mean this in the nicest possible way Rowlie, but you can stick 2020 where the monkey put the penny.
